Canada is facing a new landscape as it deals with the absence of its main strategic ally, the United States, amid what some are calling neo-Trumpism. The expansionist arrogance of Trump 2.0 has caught both analysts and the international community off guard.
For its part, relations between Canada and the United States have been affected, with reprisals from both sides. Canada has imposed a 25 percent tariff on nearly 30 billion dollars worth of U.S. products, while Trump has hinted at a potentially threatening attitude toward Canadian sovereignty.
This situation has had unexpected political consequences, with a resurgence of liberals in Canada, who have seen a significant increase in their popularity. Mexico's President Sheinbaum has also celebrated her good relationship with Trump, which has generated admiration in some sectors.
In the face of these challenges, Mexico finds it necessary to rethink its position and prepare for a scenario in which the United States may close borders or even initiate military actions against Mexican cartels. Polls reflect support for the liberals due to their stance against Trumpism, which could affect the political landscape in the country.
Amid tensions and uncertainty, Canada faces an unknown scenario, with the possibility of compromising its sovereignty and natural resources. The international community is closely watching Trump's moves and his potential intention to expand his domains.
It is crucial for Mexico and other countries to learn from the lessons that Canada is currently experiencing, strengthen their diplomatic ties, and prepare for any future scenario. The political and economic uncertainty in the region reinforces the need for a solid and unified strategy to face the challenges posed by neo-Trumpism.
